Setting aside the sovereignty dispute, is the legal ownership of the land known? Perhaps the Crown / Ministry of Defence? McPhail ( talk) 13:46, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
The answer would be that no part of the ocean floor has an "owner". There might be mineral rights or fishing rights. You could add shipping and over-flight to that list, but not ownership. You ask "is the legal ownership of the land known?" the answer would be that it cannot be owned, there is no ownership.
This all hinges on whether the ocean floor is legally different to an uninhabitable rock.
we can all have our opinions on that.
I hope that this is helpful in explaining what looks like (and probably is) contradictions in the (much abused) article Lugnad ( talk) 03:40, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
Would it be better to say 'uninhabited', as one person has already stayed there for 45 days, and Nobby Styles (G0VJG) is aiming to better this record at the end of May 23? 167.98.155.118 ( talk) 10:09, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
Reference my military service We raised more than £21,000 for military charities because I served in the army and navy As well as being a veteran soldier, I am also a retired naval officer serving in the RNR for a number of years. citation is here from armed forces network https://www.forces.net/military-life/veterans/veteran-who-hoped-break-record-living-rockall-rescued-coastguard
If it's possible to mention my naval service as well i would greatly appreciate it on behalf of the nanal charities. cam Cameron of Rockall ( talk) 22:04, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
